Yup, I'm still making amazing progress on my current book! I've been hoping to hit near 300 pages, and it seems like a reasonable pace, because at 100 pages I did a word count, and it was at 35,000 words. Apparently Hunger Games had a count of 99,000 words. I will say that my book in general isn't much like Hunger Games, but I definitely want the same kind of feel to it. I can't stress enough how I don't want my book to be like any other book. If it isn't original, and doesn't bring something new to the genre then what's the point?
Also, the more I write, the more things seem to fall into place on their own. Some decisions I made early on in the story have large impacts later, and make the direction of the story that much more interesting. Most of them seem like I'd really planned them out completely ahead of time. Some of them I have, but some seem to have fallen into place. Maybe they were subconscious decisions.
